On October 23, Nottingham Forest and Porto will hold their meeting in the main round of the Europa League. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.
Nottingham Forest
“Foresters” returned to the European arena, because only history buffs know that the club twice won the equivalent of the Champions League, although it was more than 40 years ago. The team failed to start in the main round of the Europa League, only one point in two meetings. An away draw against strong Betis is understandable – 2:2, but 2:3 at home against Midtjylland is already a serious loss.
There are big problems in the Premier League with only 5 points in 8 meetings and the 18th step in the relegation zone. In the last round, Nottingham Forest lost to Chelsea with a score of 0:3. The team has not won ten matches in a row in all tournaments, 7 defeats and three draws.
Porto
The Dragons are looking brilliant this season, with 10 wins and one draw in all competitions. In the Europa League, the team started with an away victory over the strong and ambitious Salzburg – 1:0. In the second round, there was a home victory over Crvena Zvezda – 2:1.
In the domestic arena, Porto hold the lead after eight rounds, three points ahead of the nearest pursuer. In their last league match, the club were held to a goalless draw at home to arch-rivals Benfica, the first drop of points for the Dragons this Premier League season.
As long as the team has time everywhere and is in good shape, the experience and class should definitely be enough to fight on two fronts. I think that Porto will try to guarantee a place in the playoffs of the Europa League as soon as possible.
Forecast
Although two clubs with history meet, they have never played each other before.

On paper, the English club are minimal favourites, which is easily explained by their arena factor. One of those matches where you should expect a tight fight for three results. I think the opponents will be afraid of each other, for this reason I will bet on the total under 2.5 goals at 1.86.
